DeLay Indicted

innerSpaceman · 10-04-2005, 05:03 PM

Well, even though the grand jury foreperson has issued statements that this was no rubber-stamp job, I won't go so far as to picture Earle being the only D.A. who can't get a ham-sandwich indicted. And if those really are the complete-picture facts of the two indictments handed down, I won't claim that politics is not at work here.

But .... um, so what? Every once in a while the good guys are going to have to match the dirty pool of the bad guys. Do conservatives ever hesitate to use the legal or justice systems to their nefarious political ends? Hardly.

Sometimes we have to get a little dirty in the mud to take down the likes of a slime like DeLay.

Yeah, it is usually the politically motivated who bring down the powerbrokers previously immune to attack. Not many people act out of altruism.

That said, it took four grand juries to find get an indictment of any type and then he gets this new one in one day. Also, it may be the first money laundering charge where the defendent is accused of taking clean legal money and turning it into dirty illegal money. Sounds more like money mud puddling than money laundering.
